I've been taking photos since a youngster in the Seventies, so have acquired an extensive catalogue over the decades. As you'll note from the images, I have a preference for close ups and macros, seascapes and abstracts (including many of rust & paint.) To convey mood in the Seascapes, I generally use a very slow shutter speed in the hour or so after sunset - this affords not only a beautiful soft light, but it enables me to capture the water as blurred and thus permits a heightened sense of motion.

Generally my photos are "untouched" but occasionally I try my hand at a photo-based digital manipulation or, more recently, abstract fractals. I use a Canon SLR with an extensive array of lenses and filters, as well as a smaller Canon and Nikon when unable to carry the heavier gear. Most of my processing is done in Adobe Photoshop CS4. The majority of my photos are now digital, however, some of the earlier shots were taken with 35mm cameras and converted to digital by my laboratory using a top of the range Nikon scanner. I also print and sell the fractal wallpaper on request.
As a hobby, I sell unmounted prints from small to large and not just on photographic paper, utilising Fine Art paper and Canvas too. I deal with a number of Fine Art and Stock agencies that represent me in the advertising and design industry. I am always happy to speak with creative directors wishing to acquire rights to my work (I can send you a low resolution presentation), or individuals who might be interested in purchasing prints. The desktop wallpaper and fractals are free for personal use (companies may use them, just please don't commercialise them.) . For print purchases, or for advertising enquiries - please see this page.
Thanks so much for visiting, I hope you'll be in touch.
